Diderot and the Body
by Angelica Goodden
Diderot's lifelong preoccupation with the body is expressed in every aspect of his work - philosophical, ethical, emotional, psychological, aesthetic and literary.

In her original and illuminating study , Goodden deals with ...

The Object and the Cause in the Vulgate Cycle
by Miranda Griffin
The thirteenth-century French Vulgate Cycle is the earliest vernacular text to trace the Arthurian world from the beginning of the Holy Grail at Christ's crucifixion to the death of the kingdom and its king. In this study, one of the first to treat the Cycle's five texts as a unified work, Miranda Griffin explores notions of chronology and causality within the Cycle, as the text seeks to explain the origins of Arthurian characters, objects and ...

The Epic Rhetoric of Tasso; theory and practice
by Maggie Gunsberg
The author examines the (poetica) and (poesia) of Torquatto Tasso (1544-95) in the context of the historical and cultural climate in which he lived. His epic theory is explored from the point of view of the three rhetorical faculities current in 16th-Century poetics: (inventio, dispositio) and (elocutio.) His discussion of (dispositio) reveals a fascinating similarity with ideas on art expressed by the Russian ...

The twelve essays collected here are written against this backdrop, and address issues in biographical and autobiographical writing in Italy from the later nineteenth century to the present, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between individual lives and life-writing and the ...

Men of Their Words: Performing and Negotiating Masculinity in George Sand's Fiction
by Nigel Harkness
Whereas the centrality of femininity to nineteenth-century French fiction has been the focus of widespread critical attention, masculinity has, until recently, received little sustained treatment in either the literary or socio-historical domains. In this book, Nigel Harkness uses the fiction of George Sand (1804-1876), the pre-eminent woman writer of the period, to explore questions of masculinity as they pertain to the nineteenth-century French ...
